I Cannot Make Up My Mind If She Isn't One The Bravest

women i have read about or simply mad. It's a really interesting piece if you read it all.

I would say she was a fool.


What follows this
//The trip was not all blissfully trouble-free, of course//

Backs my opinion up, who could be happy with all that groping?


Not sure what to think about this.

//In Egypt, one randy tuk-tuk driver got his comeuppance following a juicy bum squeeze by being beaten to a pulp by the police convoy on my tail - my horror at their brutality only outdone by my undisguised glee.//

[emmie]

another remarkable woman.

Aside from someone hi-jacking the thread and turning it into another history lesson (yawn) the story is interesting - not least because this lady advises that in the main, she received hospitality and respect from almost everyone she met, including those who are perceived automatically as women-hating terrorists by western media, and the audience who read and believe what they say without thought.

For proving that there are good and bad people everywhere, and the majority of them are good - she deserves our interest and respect.

Talbot - //Backs my opinion up, who could be happy with all that groping? //

I imagine this lady was no less 'happy' with it than any lady commuters who experience it on the London tubes five days a week, and you can't lay blame for that on Muslims - the tubes are full of white Englishmen in suits!

Aren't the overpacked trains in Japan notorious for groping...and worse? The culture is not known for being favourable to women.
Not many Muslims there either.

I don't know about bravery, Emmie....we shouldn't have to be brave to do what she did.....
The only problems she had, that she shouldn't, came from men.....and that's such a pity....

Her comment at the end could be said by me..... I'd do it....but would I let my daughter.....not in a month of Sundays......

Thank you too, Emmie...I'd have missed this....x

// After all women served as nurses, VAD's in France and Belgium during WW1.//

in the hey day of hitching in the sixties - one said

during the War - we never bought a ticket - we all travelled free !

( warrants for tickets were presumably sold on)

sticks and stone my dear
I have been called stupid idiotic and offensive ( not in one sentence)

and Andy Hughes - also on here - seems to get a good going over every day

[pastafreak]

I'll consider myself to be in good company then...;-)

If fools like her want to risk their lives for their 15 minutes of fame I wouldn't care but I know there are consequences for others.
Soldiers, sometimes young, sometimes British, often have to risk their lives to rescue them.
Less conscientious individuals and governments, including European governments, sometimes pay vast ransoms for their fools. And I'm sure we'd all agree that's bad.

[gness]

Sv.....sorry.....Samjenko....you are still like a big bucket of ice cold water on life......x

[Samjenko]

I don't know about that. I don't care much what anyone does as long as they're not hurting, or possibly, hurting others.
But then, my raison d'etre isn't to make myself look fabulous to a bunch of fellow virtue-signalling fools.

[fiction-factory]

Have you ever thought that this so-called 'virtue signalling' works both ways svjeck? (never could spell it)

[gness]

Try not to use virtue signalling, S...better to make your point without it....just looks a bit silly....x

[Garaman]

Undisguised glee at someone being beaten to pulp for squeezing her bum?! My word!
